As Kamala Harris hits the 2024 presidential campaign trail in hopes of securing a second term alongside Joe Biden, a new tell-all lifts the lid on the pair's now frosty relationship and how the president and First Lady Jill can't stand nor trust the VP, four years after their historic victory.
In his new book, Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris in the White House, published on Tuesday, veteran Washington journalist Charlie Spiering lifts the lid on the tension between the ill-matched pair, largely thanks to Harris's 'refusal to be a team player.'
She wants to be a team player, but no one will Position Her For Success.
Contending that America's historic first black female second in command is just 'a brain stroke away from the presidency,' he claims the 'real reason' Biden decided to run for a second term is because 'Kamala is not up to the job,' and the Bidens don't want to see her replace him.
Biden's actual first choice for his running mate in 2020, was Gretchen Whitmer, 52, the then-recently elected governor of Michigan, while the first lady 'fought against choosing Harris in favor of Susan Rice,' a top Barack Obama confidante and national security adviser in his administration, according to the book.
But Obama, 'pushed Kamala', and Biden went along despite her embarrassing criticism of him as a virtual racist in the 2020 presidential debates when she, too, was briefly running for president.
Biden chose Kamala because he promised the nation he would choose a black woman as his running mate. Whitmer is white.
Obama, America's first black president, has been one of the perceived hidden powers behind Harris's amazing rise from virtual political obscurity in California to the White House.
In his very timely, forensic examination of Kamala's turbulent political and private life, Spiering explores what is not reported in the mainstream media: That one of the 'most popular games' among democrat powers in the so-called Swamp of the capital these days is 'How do you fix Kamala Harris?'

According to Spiering, Democrats have abandoned the notion that Harris could take over for Biden in 2024 because 'she lacked' one of the most basic political skills -- simply 'answering questions...her inability to communicate sparked a crisis-of-confidence in the Democratic Party.'
The article discusses more of the book, including Kamala Harris' penchant for Word Tossed Salads. Videos below the fold.
Meanwhile, gossip columnist Cindy Adams says that Michelle Obama has begun calling big Democrat donors, telling them she'll be joining the 2024 race.
Biden won't debate. Can't. Our codger-in-chief can't even read the prewritten script in front of him fast enough to pronounce the words.
So, forget him -- which most of us already have.
Coming back now -- Obama. Not him. HER!
We've heard this drumbeat for a while. Now it's louder.
Plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice. Making the music is Barack the orchestra leader.
Michelle says she's "terrified" Trump will win. No casual burp. Was programmed. She's sent a survey to Dem biggies asking their feelings about her candidacy.
Obama's quietly angling for Joe to go. He's weaseled up to this for a few weeks. Mouths aren't talking. But mouths are knowing.
Over one year ago, summer of 2022, she was in NYC meeting several big hedge CEOs, and said, "I am running, and I am asking for your support."
The Obamas are now nudging to force SloMo Joe to go. Drop out. It's like who else is there?
